Reducing the Costs of Paying for Consumed Electric Energy by Utilizing Solar Energy

Resumo

The use of a low-power solar network and standalone power plants is the most promising for the needs of the housing and utilities sector, small industrial enterprises, social and public health facilities, recreation areas, remote objects, and agricultural industries; this will make it possible to reduce the load on the energy system at peak moments, as well as to decrease losses when transporting electric energy in its elements. It is assumed that the minimum value of the unit cost of generated electric energy is used as the criterion for configuring and selecting the parameters of solar power equipment, which will make it possible to set up an economically feasible additional power supply to the consumer, since it excludes the use of storage devices and rearrangement of the power supply system.
